Principal Notes
Dear CMS Families,
Welcome Back & Happy New Year! It was great to have our students back in the building this week. We are looking forward to a fantastic spring semester at CMS!
GO COLTS!
-Dr. Calvert
We are thrilled to welcome Carolyn Brown, a renowned motivational speaker, back to the halls of Colleyville Middle School! As a former "Colt" herself, Mrs. Brown has a deep connection to our campus—her father even served as the CMS Principal during the early 1990s. She now travels across the United States sharing powerful stories that promote a culture of kindness and empathy.
Event & Opt-Out Information
While we are excited to host this presentation, we respect the preferences of our families. If you would prefer that your child not attend this assembly, please complete the Opt-Out Form no later than Tuesday, January 20th so that we may plan our alternate locations accordingly.
Students who do not attend the session will report to a designated alternate location until the assembly concludes.
